Some of their models are USA made. My EDC is a US Kershaw. If you go to Cabelas or similar, just look for the stars and stripes and Made in USA on the packaging.Kershaw is good. Not sure where they are manufactured.
Nice damascus blade model for $100.Not USA made for sure, but the Boker Kolesnikov is a great knife for the price.
That's my main criteria. Sometimes it is harder to find certain things made in US but if I try to do whatever I possibly can to avoid buying anything made in China.I avoid anything that is 'CHINA'
Expensive and worth every penny.What do you all recommend for out the top mechanical knives? I know Benchmade is top notch (and also expensive) Are there any others that are comparable and preferably made in Texas?
Several years ago I saw knives claiming US but they were assembled from China parts.That's my main criteria. Sometimes it is harder to find certain things made in US but if I try to do whatever I possibly can to avoid buying anything made in China.
I just recently saw these at a gun show I was at. There was too many people there for me to stand there and inspect them and ask questions. I will have to check them out.![]()

The 2 I have are actually great quality and D2 blade steel. And I'm pretty picky lol.
Cheesy logo...but can't have everything lol.
I am open to and want to get a benchmade and that is probably the route I will go from all the research I have done. I was just curious if there was anything else out there maybe made locally by someone or a smaller less known company that doesn't have the reach of benchmade but makes exceptional knives.Expensive and worth every penny.
My EDC for the past 7 years has been a Benchmade. This is the longest I have ever kept a knife that I carry. I think it has a lot to do with the cost. I don't want to lose it and have to buy a replacement.

I do not spare its use though and it does see wear and tear, so I send it back to the Benchmade mother ship ever couple years under the LifeSharp program. Every time it comes back with a zero cost invoice listing everything they did. Basicly it comes back with everything new except the nicely sharpened blade and the belt clip.

I think most others may be Japan...
Wait until you hear about Benchmade chopping up guns...I am open to and want to get a benchmade and that is probably the route I will go from all the research I have done.

I have had several Kershaw's. They are good knives.American made Kershaws are a great compromise of cost and quality blade steels. All the American made ones with have the flag on the blade. View attachment 455612
